Dum-Dum

Dum-Dum is Touché Turtle's sidekick in the Touché Turtle and Dum-Dum series of cartoons, made by Hanna-Barbera.

Personality
Dum-Dum, as one can tell by his name, is not the smartest sheepdog in the world; often, his words and actions, however well-intentioned, can lead both him and Touché getting into major trouble (assuming Touché did not screw up in the first place). Similar to Ricochet Rabbit's sidekick Droop-a-Long Coyote, Dum-Dum would sometimes try to imitate Touché or do a task on his own only to fail miserably, or occasionally do something useful only to have it backfire. He is also more cowardly than Touché and usually sits out in fights, preferring for Touché to do the work.

Despite his various shortcomings, he is very loyal to Touché, who is his best friend and whom he nicknames "Toosh" (or a variation thereof) and will eagerly follow him everywhere no matter the danger, namely because he admires him as a hero. Sometimes, he can be protective of Touché in a few of the shorts.

Powers and Abilities
While Dum-Dum is supposed to be a fencer like Touché, he is almost never seen with a fencing foil like Touché is (despite being seen with one in the title card), and often he's beat by other opponents, sometimes even Touché during practice, as seen in one episode. That being said, he does know how to operate some vehicles such as helicopters, can row a boat, and sometimes does useful things especially if Touché is threatened, although it's a rarity, and often his attempts backfire.

Trivia

 * His voice actor, Alan Reed, is best known for being the voice of Fred Flintstone, hence why their voices sound very similar.
